2015 R&D 100 Market Disruptor Product Special Recognition Award: Silver Award

2015 R&D 100 Market Disruptor Product Special Recognition Award: Silver Award

Our Silver Winner for the Market Disruptor Product R&D 100 Special Recognition Award is Perkin Elmer’s Solaris Open Air Fluorescence Imaging system.

Perkin Elmer’s Solaris is truly a disruptive technology that pushes the boundaries of in vivo imaging from a closed box into an open air setting, expanding the application spectrum of in vivo optical imaging. Solaris is a multi-species fluorescence imaging system designed for image guided surgery applications. The system integrates into existing surgical workflows, providing surgical illumination and hands-free image acquisition, while functioning in ambient light conditions. With four fluorescent imaging channel capability, Solaris allows researchers to gain further understanding of their research models. Solaris is an enabling technology for preclinical research across a variety of disease models in both small and large animals. Utilizing PerkinElmer’s portfolio of fluorescent imaging agents, as well as fluorescent dyes FITC and ICG, researchers can further interrogate disease models in oncology, inflammation, infectious diseases, as well as fluorescent guided injections for applications such as stem cell therapies.
